AM - Rough Ident draft

Rough draft idea for Salex Productions using Adobe After Effects.

SB - Make-up

Our opening requires some effects such as make up, fake blood and fake severed limbs. This is because the zombie genre is a very gory and violant genre and requires attention to the details such as make up and fake blood. We are going to be using some fake blood made with 2 part red food colouring to 1 part blue food colouring and then mix with 100ml of water, it gave a strong dark red colour similar to blood. To thicken the blood we used one spoonful of golden syrup to really try to achieve the texture of blood aswell as the colour.
We are also going to buy a fake severed arm such as this one

SB - Dawn of the dead remake (opening credits)



This video is a great example of fast takes that show action, and is what i want to try recreate in my zombie feature. As it uses fast takes, amazing shots and has news reports over the top, this relates to our film as we will hear a radio broadcast on in the diegetic sound.

AM - Group Roles

Kyle Meeson - Producer
Sam Boyes - Director
Alex McCluskey - Cinematography
